"The King of Fighters ’98: Ultimate Match HERO (PGM2)"
Here are the first Work in Progress shots from The King of Fighters ’98:
Ultimate Match HERO after Morten Shearman Kirkegaard and Peter Wilhelmsen
dumped the internal rom.
They show that the PGM2 emulation still needs work, especially with a missing
sprite enable register and screen resolution control. There is also no music
at the moment, and a hardlock in attract mode.
